Bartoli–Timpanella conjecture on a power function with planar-like differential uniformity

Let pp be an odd prime and nn an odd integer. For a function FF over GF(pn){\mathrm{GF}}(p^n), write that FF is PccN for c=1c=-1 when its cc-differential uniformity is 11. Consider the power function

F(x)=xpn+1p+1.F(x)=x^{\frac{p^n+1}{p+1}}.

Bartoli–Timpanella conjecture. For c=1c=-1, the power function FF is PccN over GF(pn){\mathrm{GF}}(p^n). This conjecture concerns the existence of power functions with perfect cc-nonlinearity, a generalized form of planarity, and was proposed by Bartoli and Timpanella; its resolution status is not specified in the source.
